Saturday I went to Foxboro, Mass to see the American national soccer team play Spain's--who, by the way, just won The World Cup.
I'm still shocked at what I saw.
Spain won 4-0. That's not so hard to believe, I guess. What was shocking to me was the ease by which they won. It looked as if they barely broke a sweat while the Americans chased the ball all over the field never possessing it for long.
I was certain it would be a really great game. America's team isn't bad but...
Spain’s players were, almost to the man, masters. And playing like a team they created great results.
Being great as a team and masterful as an individual--and far ahead of the competition (if only your demons) requires:
- · A decision to be great
- · Caring more about your goal than you do your comfort
- · Spending time with people who are better than you at your chosen endeavors
- · A decision to never quit
We all have to choose where we’d like to place ourselves on the scale between mediocrity and mastery. Having witnessed the results of years of dedication and resulting dominance, I know I’m capable of more.
And you…? What is it time to stop messing around with and start hitting hard?
Toward Mastery,
RR
